We show that there are infinitely many distinct rational primes of the form p₁=a²+b²$p_1=a^2+b^2$ and p₂=a²+(b+h)²$p_2=a^2+{(b+h)}^2$, with a,b,h$a,b,h$ integers, such that 6fdaebe8" title="Click to view the MathML source">|h|≤246$|h|\le 246$. We do this by viewing a Gaussian prime c+di$c+di$ as a lattice point (c,d)$(c,d)$ in R²${\mathbb{R}}^2$ and showing that there are infinitely many pairs of distinct Gaussian primes (c₁,d₁)$(c_1,d_1)$ and (c₂,d₂)$(c_2,d_2)$ such that the Euclidean distance between them is bounded by 246. Our method, motivated by the work of Maynard [9] and the Polymath project [13], is applicable to the wider setting of imaginary quadratic fields with class number 1 and yields better results than those previously obtained for gaps between primes in the corresponding number rings.
